Conor McGregor är under utredning för två fall av sexuella övergrepp sedan mars förra året. Tidigare har en talesman get ett uttalande om situationen, men nu har Conor själv get ett kort uttalande om anklagelserna i en intervju med ESPN. Han nekar till anklagelserna och lovar att ge mer information vid ett senare tillfälle.
Detta sa han under intervjun:

“I can’t say anything about this. It just has to take place, right?”
“Time. Patience is a skill we must master. Patience is one of the most valuable skills a human being must master. I am working hard to master it, and I feel I am getting there. Time will show all. That’s it right now. I’m focused on the belt. I’m focused on positivity, good thoughts.”
“I will say a prayer for those who try and cross me and bring harm to me with these type of things and that’s it.”
“Yes, of course [I deny the allegations]. Of course. Seriously,”
“Time, please. Time will reveal all. That’s it.”
Conor McGregor återvänder till oktagonen i helgen på UFC 246 där han tar sig an UFC-veteranen Donald ”Cowboy” Cerrone.
